1962 Map of University Park

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge dominates the western landscape of this Palm Beach County area in the early 1960s, defined by the extensive Conservation Area No 1. This wilderness contrasts sharply with the meticulously gridded agricultural and residential development to the east, where the Sunshine State Parkway (Toll) serves as a primary north-south artery. The map captures an era of expansion for communities like University-Park and County Club Acres, while showing the early institutional footprint of the St Andrews Preparatory Sch. The presence of small settlements like Dewitt and localized facilities such as the Hagen Sch and a rural Landing Strip reflect a transitional period before the region's more intensive suburbanization. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the numerous canals and a Gaging Station positioned along the refuge boundary.
